Bobby Goldsboro-Honey lyrics

See the tree how big it`s grown  
 
  
 But friend it hasn`t been too long  
 
  
 It wasn`t big.  
 
  
 I laughed at her and she got mad  
 
  
 The first day that she planted it  
 
  
 Was just a twig  
 
  
 
  
 Then the first snow came   
 
  
 And she ran out  
 to brush the snow away  
 
  
 So it wouldn`t die  
 
  
 Came runnin` in all excited   
 
  
 Slipped and almost hurt herself  
 
  
 And I laughed `til I cried  
 
  
 
  
 She was always young at heart  
 
  
 Kinda dumb and kinda smart  
 
  
 And I loved her so  
 
  
 And I surprised her with a puppy  
 
  
 Kept me up all Christmas Eve  
 
  
 Two years ago  
 
  
 
  
 And it would sure embarass her  
 
  
 When I came in from workin` late  
 
  
 `Cause I would know  
 
  
 That she`d been sittin` there and cryin`  
 
  
 Over some sad and silly  
 
  
 Late, late show  
 
  
 
  
 Chorus:  
 
  
 And Honey I miss you  
 
  
 And I`m being good  
 
  
 And I`d love to be with you  
 
  
 If only I could  
 
  
 
  
 She wrecked the car and she was sad  
 
  
 And so afraid that I`d be mad  
 
  
 But what the heck  
 
  
 Though I pretended hard to be  
 
  
 Guess you could say she saw through me  
 
  
 And hugged my neck  
 
  
 
  
 I came home unexpectedly   
 
  
 And caught her cryin` needlesly  
 
  
 In the middle of the day  
 
  
 And it was in the early Spring  
 
  
 When flowers bloom and Robins sing  
 
  
 She went away  
 
  
 
  
 Chorus  
 
  
 
  
 One day while I  
 was not at home   
 
  
 While she was there and all alone  
 
  
 The angels came  
 
  
 Now all I have is memories   
 
  
 Of Honey and I wake up nights  
 
  
 And call her name  
 
  
 
  
 Now my life`s an empty stage  
 
  
 Where Honey lived and Honey played  
 
  
 And love grew up  
 
  
 And a small cloud passes over head  
 
  
 And cries down on the flower bed  
 
  
 That Honey loved  
 
  
 
  
 And see the tree how big it`s grown  
 
  
 But friend, it hasn`t been too long  
 
  
 It wasn`t big  
 
  
 I laughed at her and she got mad  
 
  
 The first day that she planted it   
 
  
 Was just a twig
